    Comments: I've been married 20 years to a great guy and I have three beautiful kids 2 boys 17 and 13 and a girl 8. Although I didn't graduate from French I had a lot of great times there. I'd like to get in touch with anyone who remembers me, especially Leigh Slayter, Becky Hale, Sandi Walker and Susie Harris. Hope you have a great day!

    Comments: hello everyone it was rally nice to find this web page. i came to french the middle of my 10th grade year. i played varisty basketball and ran track. after grauduation night I caught the first bus out of beaumont back to atlanta. I found my true love (Derek Harrell) in Georgia he was in the Army Honor Guard. We have been together since 1985. I have 3 boys Andrew 19, Thomas 6 (don't ask I have know idea what we were thinking). My stepson (Derek Jr.) is 22 and is currently serving in Iraq. I truely enjoyed my years at French. My father still lives in Beaumont off of Magnolia Street. I come home every 2 yrs to visit. I was recently in Beaumont in Febuary 2006. I took my 19 yr old to see the school, I even song the theme song "We're playing basketball" that the girls team used to come in on. His face was one to be remembered. My favorite teacher was Mrs. Green who taught Accounting. The only thing I ever feared at French was Ms. Mansfield and her paddle during basketball practice. i have become addicted to orange crush soda. My best memories are at French and all of the crazy growing pains that I went through. I have boxes of pitcures of people that went to school there, but I can not put names with them. Just looking at them brings back a peaceful time. If you're ever in Georgia email me. god bless and take care.

    Comments: I spent 5 yrs in the USN and remained in Maryland after my enlistment. I am deeply into the sport of motorcycles. Mainly street riding and dodging idiots in their training wheels (automobiles). I have been riding for 6 yrs and currently have a 2003 Honda CBR600RR which I nicknamed "Nyte Ryder". There is nothing like hitting speeds of 150 mph and over. I have two Chow Chows I love dearly. Their names are Quiteaux and Riyadh.

    Comments: 20 years since we left French High School - no way - that cannot be true. My days at FHS were special and somewhat trying, but by God's grace I was carried through. After FHS I obtained a couple of College Degrees, moved to Fort Worth, Texas finished my Masters Degree, married an absolutely beautiful and wonderful lady (Milli) in 1996, opened my own business in 1999, had two children (David II) 2000 and (Laura) 2002. We planted a Church in Fort Worth late 2004 and I am soooooo looking forward to seeing some old faces (propbably a little older looking than any of us wants to admit) in July 2005 for our 20 Year Reunion. If you want to say hello - please feel free to email. If you live near DFW let's get together.

    Comments: Happily married, 4 children, stay at home mom. Favorite teachers would have to include Mrs. McMillan, Schim, and Mrs. Bishop. Special memory has to be going all the way to state in football and the Buffalo Belles! WOW! Go Belles! The Academic Decathlon was also lots of fun. A humbling experience when faced up against real brains.

    Comments: The night I graduated I cried because I knew everything and everyone I knew was about to change. I looked at my classmates that night and realize that I would probably never see them again. When I go home now and see old classmates it makes me feel 17 yrs. old again.

    Comments: My favorite memory of French is my senior year when our football team went to state. It was so exciting going to the Astrodome, Kyle Field and then on to Texas Stadium for the championship game. Although, we tied with Odessa Permian, I feel that the trip brought our entire class closer togather! I will also treasure my years in the Belles and all of the wonderful friends that I made, and continue to have. I never thought that I would say this, but I sure do miss that school!!!

    Comments: I actually left FHS my junior year, but my heart stayed there. I returned to see all my classmates graduate, to go the Senior Prom, and to go watch the state playoffs in Houston - the year FHS won state! I have way too many memories of FHS to list here, but the relationships that were developed during those days are still the most special to me!

    I graduated French in 1985 and went to Lamar. There I graduated with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. After a couple shifts in career direction in theengineering field, I now work in Reading, PA as an Application Specialist(Software Developer) for Perot Systems Corp. When Perot relocated me to Reading, the moving company lost all of my annuals (jr high and highschool). I've been heartbroken over the whole deal. If anyone knows wherewhere I can get replacements (FYI, I'm a Bowie M.S. alumn as well), I would be forever grateful. If anyone recognizes my name, please feel free to drop a line and keep in touch. I miss Texas very much, Beaumont in particular.
